MACHINE FOR PASTING COLLARS AND-CUFFS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 594,387, dated November 30, 1897.

Application filed April 1 7, 1 89 7.

full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled'in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

. This invention relates to devices for pasting collars and cufis or for applying paste to collars in the operation of manufacturing the latter; and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this class which is simple in construction and operation and which is adapted to be operated by means of a pedal, in order that the hands may be left free for manipulating the cuffs or the separate parts thereof.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanyin g drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of our improvement are designated by the same numerals of reference in each of the views,.and in which- Figure 1 is a front View of our improved machine; Fig. 2, a sectional side view thereof, and Fig. 3 a section of a detail of the construction, g

In the practice of our invention we provide a table or support 5, which is provided with legs 6, and said legs, at the front of the machine, are connected by a crossbar 7, provided centrally with two upwardly-directed arms 8, between which is pivoted, as shown at 9, a pedal 10.

Secured to the table or support 5 are two uprights or standards 11, which are connected at their upper ends by a cross-head 12, and mounted on the cross-head 12 and centrally thereof is an upright tubular receiver 13, in which is mounted a plunger 14, which is provided at its upper end with a weight 16.

At the back of the table and fastened to standards 6 is a cross-bar 17,with which is connected a spiral spring 18, which is connected with the rear end of a yoke 19 by means of a link or rod 20, and the yoke 19 operates as a lever and is supported by stand- Serial No. 632,656. (No modeL) ards 21,-with which it is pivotally connected, said standards being secured to the table or support 5. The sides of the yoke 19 are secured to the bottom of a bar 22, which is longer than the cross-head 12 and which extends parallel therewith, and the bar 22 is provided with a plurality of clamps 24, which are preferably three in number and which are held in any desired position on said bar by set-screws 25, and these clamps are each provided with a Vertical rod 26, to the lower end of which is secured a tubular sleeve 27, in which is mounted a sliding tube 28, and the tube 28 in each of the sleeves 27 is held in a depressed position by a spiral spring 29, one of which is mounted in each of said sleeves 27, and the tube 28 is provided in the side thereof with a slot or opening 30, which is adapted to register with a branch tube 31, secured to the back of the sleeve 27, and connected with each of the branch tubes 31 is a flexible pipe 32, each of which is in communication with the lower end of the upright tubular receiver 13.

Pivotally connected with the pedal 10 at the rear end thereof is a rod 33, which is also pivotally connected with the yoke 19 by means of a cross-bar 34, which is secured to the opposite sides of said yoke, and the operation will be readily understood from the foregoing description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the following statement thereof.

The paste to be used is placed in the receiver 13, as shown at 34 in Fig. 2, and the plunger 14 is also placed in said receiver, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and rests on the paste, and said paste is in a fluid condition and flows through the flexible tubes 32. The normal position of the tubes 28 is that shown in Fig. 2, and when the rear end of the pedal 10 is depressed the forward end of the yoke 19, which operates as a lever, will be depressed also, and with it the cross-bar 22, and the sleeves 27 will be forced downwardly by the cross-bar 22, and the lower ends of the tubes 28 will strike the table or the collars or cuffs placed thereon, or the separate parts thereof, and said tubes will be forced upwardly until the openings 30 in the sides thereof register with the ends of the branch pipes 31, when the paste will flow through said branch tubes and through the tubes 28 onto the collars or cuffs or the separate parts thereof, which are placed upon the table or support 5 and manipulated by hand in the usual manner. The springs 29 are connected with the upper ends of the tubes 28, and said tubes cannot, therefore, be drawn out of the sleeves H7, and the cross-bar '7 serves as a support for the front end of the pedal 10, and each time that the cross-bar 22 is depressed, as described, the spring 18 serves to return it to the position shown in full lines in Figs. 1 and 2.

This device is simple in construction and operation and is perfectly adapted to accomplish the result for which it is intended, and it will be apparent that changes in and modifications of the construction herein described may be made without departing from the spirit of our invention or sacrificing its ad vantages.

Having fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A machine for pasting collars and cuffs, comprising a table or support, a cross-head mounted thereover, an upright tubular receiver mounted on said cross-head and provided with a vertically-movable plunger, a pedal pivotally supported below said table or support, a yoke or lever pivoted above said table or support, and connected with said pedal, a cross-bar connected with said yoke or lever, and provided with a plurality of tubular sleeves which are suspended therefrom, each of which is provided with a branch tube, a flexible tube connected with each of said branch tubes, and with said receiver, and a sliding tube mounted in each of said sleeves and provided with an opening which is adapt ed to register with said branch tubes, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a machine for pasting collars and cuffs and similar articles, the combination with a table or support, of a receiver mounted thereover, a vertically-movable plunger mounted in said receiver, a pedal supported beneath said table or support, a yoke or lever pivotally supported above said table or support, and in operative connection with said pedal, a cross-bar connected with said yoke or lever, and provided with a plurality of tubular sleeves which are suspended therefrom, each of which is provided with a branch tube, a flexible tube connected with each of said branch tubes, and with said receiver, and a sliding tube mounted in each of said sleeves and provided with an opening which is adapted to register with the branch tube connected therewith, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a machine for pasting collars and cuffs, the combination with a suitable table or support as 5, of a tubular receiver as 13, supported thereovcr, a vertically-movable plunger as 1%, mounted in said tubular receiver, a pedal as 10, pivotally supported below said table or support, a yoke or lever as 10, pivotally supported above said table or support, and in operative connection with said pedal, a crossbar as 22, connected with said yoke or lever tubular sleeves as 27, suspended from said cross-bar, each of which is provided with a branch tube as 31, flexible tubes connecting said branch tubes with said receiver, and sliding tubes as 28, mounted in said sleeves, each of said sleeves being also provided with a spring by which the sliding tube therein is depressed, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signed our names, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 13th day of April, 1897.
